Effect of time before lifting irrigation of frigo strawberry transplants on their quality and productivity [electronic resource].

Includes references.

The experiment was conducted in 2005/2006 and 2006/2007 to study the effect of irrigation time before lifting the transplants from the nursery on transplants quality and yield of strawberry after cold storage. The period between the last irrigation time and lifting the transplants was on the lifting day , one and two days before lifting . The transplants were lifted from the nursery and stored on the same day for 9 months. Transplants after storage were planted in the field to evaluate its growth and yield after the cold storage. Data indicated that the highest values of dry matter of roots and crowns before and after cold storage, leaf number and area, early and total yield were obtained from the transplants that irrigated 2 days before lifting while the lowest values were obtained from that transplants supplied with water on the lifting day.
